"Strange, according to common sense, he shouldn't come over to check my pulse at this time!"

Looking at Caiyue who came in to report, Shen Meizhuang frowned slightly, but immediately pointed out the strangeness of the matter.

Although Liu Bin did come to check his pulse every now and then, his time was very consistent, usually in the afternoon, and Liu Bin had already come once yesterday, so why did he come again now?

"It looks like someone can't sit still anymore!"

Facing Shen Meizhuang who was showing a puzzled look, An Lingrong smiled slightly, but she already understood why Liu Bin came here at this time.

The reason is very simple, he must have been assigned by someone!

"Sister, you mean..."

Shen Meizhuang and Zhen Huan were also smart people. After thinking about it for a while, they immediately understood the reason behind it.

Liu Bin obeys Hua Fei's orders. The reason why he came here at this time must be because Hua Fei gave the order!

"Hua Fei and the others probably think that sister fell into a trap without knowing it, so she got pregnant. Now I have good news. We have always been close, so they naturally think that this may be because sister shared the prescription with us."

An Lingrong elaborated on her analysis and then continued, "So, Concubine Hua couldn't sit still. She sent Liu Bin over. On the surface, it seemed that she cared about her sister, but in fact, she wanted to use this opportunity to test the truth!"

"What should I do?"

When Zhen Huan heard this, she immediately showed anxiety on her face, "You didn't take the medicine!"

You know, in order to conceal the truth from Liu Bin, and also to make Concubine Hua behind the scenes believe that Shen Meiyu had really taken the medicine, Zhen Huan specially asked Wen Shichu to develop an improved prescription.

In this way, a seamless effect can be achieved!

However, An Lingrong had never taken such medicine. Once Liu Bin came to take her pulse, he would immediately find out that An Lingrong was really pregnant!

By then, wouldn't their painstakingly crafted plans be completely shattered?

"Why are you panicking?"

Compared to the somewhat panicked Zhen Huan, Shen Meizhuang was undoubtedly much calmer, "You are my guests. Even if Liu Bin wants to check my pulse, he shouldn't ask about your affairs!"

After saying this, Shen Meizhuang gave Caiyue a direct look.

Caiyue was indeed a maid who had served Shen Meizhuang since she was a child. She understood what she meant immediately and said to An Lingrong and Zhen Huan, "My two young ladies, please follow me!"

"Sister Mei?"

Zhen Huan saw that Shen Meizhuang seemed to be planning to face Liu Bin alone, and she frowned, "This is inappropriate!"

"Hurry up and go down with Caiyue to take shelter for a while. I will wait for Caiyue to come back and then let Liu Bin in."

Shen Meizhuang naturally understood Zhen Huan's concerns, so she explained it this way.

She is not a fool, how could she be alone with Liu Bin?

It would be unimaginable if the other party was instructed by Concubine Hua and had some sinister ideas!

"That's good!"

Seeing that Shen Meizhuang looked confident, Zhen Huan felt relieved. Shen Meizhuang nodded, and then followed Caiyue to the back hall quickly.

What Shen Meizhuang said made sense. Although Liu Bin came here, he was just an imperial physician. He naturally had no right to comment on An Lingrong and Zhen Huan who came to visit Xianfu Palace.

Therefore, as long as Shen Meizhuang's attitude is firm enough, a small person like Liu Bin will not be able to cause any trouble.

Caiyue quickly settled An Lingrong and the other person, and then returned to Shen Meizhuang.

"Everything is settled?"

Shen Meizhuang asked Caiyue, and when she nodded, she said, "Then go and invite Doctor Liu in."

"Yes." Caiyue took a deep breath and nodded.

Liu Bin waited outside for a long time, feeling uneasy.

Just as An Lingrong had just said to Shen Meiyu, the reason why he chose to visit again at this time was naturally not in accordance with convention, but because Cao Qinmo, in accordance with Concubine Hua's request, sent someone to ask Liu Bin to go again, with the purpose of probing Shen Meiyu's true strength!

Although, Cao Qinmo promised Liu Bin that if An Lingrong really became "pregnant" because of taking the prescription he developed, it would be considered a great achievement for him and his future rewards would be doubled!

But when Liu Bin heard this, he did not feel much joy in his heart. Instead, he felt a deep worry.

He had never met An Lingrong before, but according to the news from the Imperial Hospital, Concubine An's pregnancy was diagnosed by Imperial Doctor Zhang himself.

Doctor Zhang was the emperor's imperial physician and held an extremely special status in the entire Imperial Medical Bureau. Liu Bin was naturally worried that his actions would be discovered by Doctor Zhang.

However, Cao Qinmo was following Concubine Hua's orders to do the job. Liu Bin knew very well that his life and future wealth and glory all depended on this, so of course he did not dare to refuse. So he could only come to Xianfu Palace with a nervous mood.

"Doctor Liu, our young master is waiting for you."

Caiyue hated Liu Bin in her heart but did not show it on the surface. She brought Liu Bin into the main hall.

"Your humble servant greets the young lady!" Liu Bin bowed politely to Shen Meizhuang, then took out a hand pillow from the box he carried with him, ready to check Shen Meizhuang's pulse.

Having said that, as soon as he came in, Liu Bin's eyes were not idle. He kept looking around, trying to find An Lingrong.

It’s a pity that when he looked around the room, he didn’t see any third person except Shen Meizhuang and Caiyue.

"Doctor Liu, what are you looking for?"

Shen Meizhuang naturally saw all of Liu Bin's little actions, but now she pretended not to know, "Is there anything wrong?"

"Haha, nothing, nothing..." Liu Bin laughed awkwardly, but began to check Shen Meizhuang's pulse carefully.

After a moment, Liu Bin removed his hand from the scarf and said to Shen Meizhuang, "The young lady is in good health, and her pulse is steady and strong, which shows that the dragon fetus is very good!"

"That's good."

Shen Meizhuang knew that he was just making up stories, but a smile still appeared on her face.

Liu Bin hesitated for a moment, but still took the initiative to ask: "But there is one thing I want to ask you, my lord!"

"What?" Shen Meizhuang motioned for him to just talk.

Liu Bin asked, "My lord, have you been taking the medicine since I offered you the prescription? Have you ever stopped taking it?"

"Of course not." Shen Meizhuang smiled and said, "I was able to conceive a dragon descendant so quickly, all thanks to the prescription provided by Doctor Liu. I have already realized the benefits of this prescription, so why would I stop? But, Doctor Liu, why did you suddenly ask about this? Is there something wrong?"

When Liu Bin heard that Shen Meizhuang had not stopped taking the medicine, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Because he didn't find anything unusual in Shen Meizhuang's pulse, he quickly shook his head when he saw Shen Meizhuang asking back, "Of course there is nothing wrong with this medicine, but I also heard that Lady An also brought good news. My lady, please forgive me for being so bold, I wonder if you have given this prescription to others?"

After these words were spoken, Shen Meizhuang and Caiyue's expressions changed slightly, and then they fell silent.

Liu Bin had been staring at the master and servant. When he saw their faces change because of his words, he sneered in his heart, but on the surface he showed an anxious look!
